DON'T PICK UP: PROTOTYPE 

I) PROJECT DESCRIPTION

In 2024, Shadow Box Cinema received an international incentive fund from the Canada Media Fund and Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg to develop DON’T PICK UP: PROTOTYPE, a multiplatform AR experience for iPhones/iPads + TVs. The project invited users to sync their smartphones/tablets to our short DON’T PICK UP YouTube video and – at a specific moment in the video – their phones/tablets would start buzzing in sync with a phone in the video, prompting them to pick up: if they picked up, they would see a terrifying ‘DEAD NUN’ appear behind their TV/computer monitors via augmented reality; our ‘Dead Nun’ was auto-adapted to fit the size of the user’s space and would intelligently respond to user decisions via position-triggered events and ambisonic soundscapes, creating an immersive, interactive, and terrifying multiplatform experience.
